Safety Warnings and Precautions
WARNING: When using tool, basic safety precautions should always be followed
to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.
Read all instructions before using this tool!
1. Avoid eye damage. Do not shine light directly into the eyes of people or
animals. Temporary blindness can occur. The High Intensity Discharge (HID)
light bulb is three times brighter than a halogen bulb.
2. Avoid burns. Do not touch the Spotlight lens during operation. It becomes
very hot. Allow the Spotlight to cool down before performing any maintenance.
3. Avoid overheating the Spotlight. Do not block the lens and reflector during
operation.
4. Observe work area conditions. Do not use in damp or wet locations. Don’t
expose to rain. Do not use electrically powered tools in the presence of
flammable gases or liquids.
5. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed to use this Spotlight.
6. Store idle equipment. When not in use, store in a dry location to inhibit
corrosion.

7. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or
attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain
applications for which this tool was designed. It will do the job better and more
safely at the rate for which it was intended. Do not modify this tool and do not
use this tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.
8. Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed
by a qualified technician as a high voltage hazard exists within the unit
circuitry. Battery replacement is not hazardous, however.
9. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Do not use if any parts are broken; or any
other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use
the Spotlight if any switch does not turn On and Off properly.
10. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use
accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are
available from Harbor Freight Tools.
Note: Performance of this Spotlight may vary depending on variations in local line
voltage while charging, or Spotlight Battery power.
Battery Precautions
1. Read all instructions and warnings on the Battery before charging the battery.
2. To avoid accidents, charge the supplied Battery only. Use only the attached
charging adapters for charging the internal Battery.
3. Replace a dead Battery with only the same type (see Specifications, page 2).
4. Do not expose the Battery to rain or wet conditions.
5. To avoid damage of cable and plug, never pull the cable to disconnect the
charging cord.
6. Do not use the charging cable if the cable or plug are damaged.
7. Repairs should be carried out by a qualified technician.
8. Do not touch the Battery poles with any conductive source.
9. Do not store the Battery in a box with other metal objects.
10. Do not throw the Battery in a fire or in the general trash. Contact your local
hazardous waste disposal authority for proper disposal.

11. Always recharge the Battery when the Spotlight performance begins to
diminish. Severe heat is most destructive to a Battery; the more heat
generated, the faster the Battery loses power. A Battery that gets too hot can
be permanently damaged. Never over-discharge a Battery by using the tool
even after tool performance is decreasing. When tool performance begins to
diminish, stop the tool, and recharge the Battery.
12. Always remove the Battery from the Spotlight before performing inspection,
maintenance, cleaning procedures, or storage.
Warning: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It
must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are fac-
tors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the opera-
tor.
Charging Battery
